Not yet, but it looks like fun in the video. ...did I just see a little Google Chrome-ship?! I love it, haha! I'll try to check it out this weekend if I find the time. :-)

So I've got a pretty unpopular opinion - so far I've been having a lot of fun with the Dungeon Keeper mobile game, and I haven't paid a cent into it. Most of the criticisms I've seen seem completely unfair. The game doesn't *prevent* anyone from giving it a bad rating. It's *asking* people...

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Indiana_Jones Aww, mann...he's right! :-(

TL;DR: Fanboy gush-rant follows. Sounds like a great idea to me - if someone doesn't enjoy an aspect of the game, add an option to skip it. Almost no development time is lost to this, and it adds a great deal of value to a number of players. My ex-wife loved watching me play through Mass...

I'm concerned about the interface. Minecraft requires two axes of movement and two axes of camera control. I haven't yet played a game on my phone that does that, that I feel does it well enough to be fun. Minecraft - Pocket Edition mitigates the UI issue by removing monsters - I don't have...

I thought Amnesia had great graphics. High enough production values that I didn't completely believe that it was really an indie game, honestly. I like how Jim lauds as a feature the reason I hate the Resident Evil games. Why are these young, fit-looking characters less athletic and...

Personally, I tend to play games the way I'd react in real life. In Mass Effect 2, this resulted in a full Paragon meter and about 3/8ths of a full Renegade meter by the time I was done. There's rarely reason to be rude or dishonest even to my enemies, and I want to fix shit, not make it...

I...don't remember the last time I rented a game. I think it was for the Sega Genesis? Renting costs are as high as buying some games used...I mostly buy console games used, and PC games off Steam during a sale. I'm kinda a hoarder. ^.^

There was a time when I remapped everything to the number pad. Come to think of it, modern games require few enough keys that I could probably get away with doing that again...not like Tribes. Still, WADS is there for a reason - it's easy to find (look for the caps lock with your pinky, go...

Video game programmer. I was even involved in writing a crappy game (for a class) in college, but I decided that what I hear about working in the video game industry is just more abuse than I want to put up with, and now I'm just a programmer. ^.^

About eight of my friends and I have concrete plans to take a week off work and spend that entire week playing Guild Wars 2 on release week. Hope we'll all fit in a party from the beginning this time around! ..well, our plans are as concrete as they can be before a release week has been...

As long as no children come from it, I see no problem. Incest is illegal because it leads to inbreeding, which leads directly to forcing a child to live life with disabilities of all sorts. However, if a child is born from such a union, it's NOT just the problem of the two parents. It's...

When I first started to drive, I was petrified. The worst case scenario of a driving-related fuck-up is pretty severe, I figured. My dad took me through a bunch of no-traffic residential neighborhoods near where we lived. He also helped me figure out how blind spots work, because I refused...

6'7 and 330 lbs, and I've had arthritic knees since I was 14 and way, way slimmer. I'm not morbidly obese, but I *am* pretty big around. And I have body image problems worse than most of the women I know. :-) When I'm in public, every thought is dedicated to minimizing how disgusting I...

Think of 18 as the zero point. You're not 25, you're a 7th-year adult. Or a 4th-year legal drinker.
